Basic Info

Otgiva Cordwyk; Wanted by the Garlean Empire for the crimes of Treason, Desertion, Breaking Out of Prison, etc. Repeatedly captured and escaping from Garlean prisons in various regions under control by the empire, the latest reports suggest she has fled into Eorzea with various pieces of magitech, plotting to continue her rebellion against Garlean Rule.

History

Otgiva was born under Garlean rule, her country long subjugated by the empire in it's conquest of Ilsabard. Her parents were civilians, basic craftsmen who sold and repaired goods for the military forces that came through their settlement. Far from well-off, Otgiva's parents resented their conquerers, and their hated for Garlemald extended to their child. However, unlike her parents who silently held their grudge, Otgiva was quite vocal in her disdain of the Garleans. Seen as a possible threat, and fearful the girl would raise a resistance force, she was forced into the military, with the hopes she would fall on the front lines and cause no more trouble.

Within the Garlean military, Otgiva received various forms of training and conditioning to keep her in line. Silently bearing her grudge still, she learned what she could from her instructors and the other soldiers she was stationed with. Favoring her bare hands or small knives for combat, she was often sent as a scout on missions, an event that made her inevitable desertion all the easier. Casting her armor aside, she fled into the wilds of Eorzea, fleeing into Thanalan with a few pieces of Magitech weaponry that allowed her to avoid or otherwise hold back her pursuers.

Affiliations

Former

Garlemald

Otgiva was forced into the Garlean Military as it became clear she would cause more trouble if left in her homeland, attempting to raise a resistance or revolution. During her duty she absorbed a few various fighting styles into her own combat repertoire, ranging from the use of magitech firearms to more stealthy use of daggers employed by the Shadows. Of course she never intended to stay silent, and at every chance available Otgiva would sabotage and attempt escape. After her numerous successes at escaping, she has now been declared a fugitive.

Ala Mhigan Resistance

After her escape attempt, Otgiva found herself allied with part of the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Striking at the Garlean trade routes, she helped them in their struggles to survive and plan to take back their home. However, after a few months of following the refugees through Thanalan, Otgiva began to grow distant from the group. Having been an outsider the entire time she was never particularly close or dedicated to their cause, and eventually she parted ways with them outside Ul'dah.

Current

Adventurer's Guild

Settling in Eorzea, Otgiva now wanders the realm as an Adventurer. Taking up quests for the City-States, she lends her skills wherever they're needed, while also taking any and every excuse she can get to attack Garlean bases and soldiers that continue their invasion.
